Mental Health (Part 1) - Your skin and your mental health

If there is one thing we want you to take away from this episode, it’s a sense of EMPOWERMENT.  For this discussion, Dr George Moncrieff and Dr Roger Henderson are joined by a world authority in how mental health and the skin are linked, Professor Anthony Bewley. The trio chat about the huge impact skin conditions can have on someone's quality of life, as well as diving into:   Why you should talk to your GP about your mental health  Psychodermatology (the medical term for addressing the mind and the skin) resources in the UK  Guidance on how managing the physical symptoms of your dry skin condition (for example, itchiness) can help relieve the impact this may be having on your mental wellbeing.  Thank you to our kind sponsor AproDerm, who provide a range of emollients designed for the management of dry skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis and ichthyosis.  Everyone’s skin is unique and what works for one person, may not work for another.
